I have no interest in a shitty laminated menu that is most certainly not clean.
Why are people so upset about this? It could not be more simple and as it’s on the phone you can select and search for things or maybe you weren’t familiar, etc.
It’s easier to update for the restaurant, no cleaning of the menus, etc. it makes everything easier for both sides of the coin
What are the downsides??
But that's assuming everyone brings their phone along everywhere and not everyone knows how to scan a QR code or even (think elderly people, for example) owns a smartphone.
I do agree that it's more sanitary, though. I did go to a place a while ago that had a QR code on the table which I thought was really cool, actually. Because it allowed me to place my order on my phone and even pay on my phone. But they offered a physical menu as well.
Nowadays I think it's a pretty safe assumption that people have a device that can scan a qr code. It just needs to be accompanied with sufficient instructions.
You know what they say when you assume.
Idiot
Pulling out my phone, opening the camera app or whatever one scams the QR code, pointing it at the thing, fighting focus because the code is so small or dirty, clicking to follow the link, downloading a PDF or following the website, waiting for it to transfer over mobile data, zooming in and out to move around the menu and read the tiny print, because half the time it's just the same PDF they would send to a printer and not optimized for viewing on a phone.
OR
Be handed a paper menu and just looking at it.
Which is more simple?!
But ignoring the simple aspect, I simply don't want to use my phone. I don't like how everything is on a cell phone.
Not having covectivity results in not having access to the menu.
I really don't want to be messing with my phone figuring out their wifi, if even available, which might have terms I would have to agree to to use.
Not having enough data left. Being an older person who is not good with tech or doesnt have a smartphone.
